SA win Antigua Game by a Huge margin, Pollock MOM
SA once again dominated the proceeding against WI A and bowled them out for a Parttry score of 56
, thanks to some fine bowling from Pollock and Ntini.
Pollock took 10 wkts in Match.
Now WI should start thinking of avoiding this team to dominate them as they have done to their cousin.

WI need to lift their game in order to challenge the SA who really r looking great so far with both bat and ball.
The main problems of WI lie in their batmsen not scoring big and bowlers being inconsistent.
WI having a extended net session.

Antigua Recreation Ground: St. Johns, Antigua
Antigua Recreation Ground
St John's, Antigua
End names Pavilion End, Factory Road End
Home team(s) Leeward Islands
Profile:
The Antigua Recreation Ground, known locally as the ARG, became cricket's 52nd Test venue in 1980-81 when it hosted England, a Test marked by a hundred from the island's most famour son, Viv Richards.
Despite the relatively small size of Antigua - population 70,000 - crowds at the Rec are knowledgable and enthusiastic. The centre of activity is the two-tier Double Decker stand where partying well after the close of play, and music and entertainiment during it - this was where the colourful Gravy paraded himself - with wickets and runs accompanied by music and trumpets. The remainder of the ground has slowly evolved into a well-appointed stadium. For many years Antigua had a unique ground staff, largely made up of inmates from the adjoining prison. For years the warden of the prison was Malcolm Richards, the father of Viv. The west side is dominated by St John's Catholic cathedral.

Pitch Report:
Michael Holding: " Good morning everybody I am here in the centre of the 22 yard strip that matters a lot, this is an absolute beauty too good a pitch to bat on, there will be some movement initially and will dry out as soon as the match progress and batting will be an advantage on this first as the ball may turn a lot later. So do win the toss dont bowl if u do then u may well have to bein field for 2 days"
